Enemy You

Not preference the tendency toward punk that’s wimpy, tuneful, and bowing to lost like, San Francisco’s Foe You is aimed at the edgy, midtempo rockers mainly because punk begins to merge in to the mainstream. David Jones (business lead acoustic guitar and vocals) will a lot of the songwriting, developing songs which have a politics flavor such as for example “Expectations and Dreams,” “Awake,” “Youngsters Anthems,” and “Town of Lost Kids.” Ken Yamazaki (acoustic guitar) and Joe Yamazaki (drums) have been around in the lineup because the starting, with Marc Tamo and Poultry (who also takes on in Down in Flames) playing bass and adding vocals. After getting the eye of Ben Weasel, Foe You first made an appearance within the four-way break up Four on to the floor (together with Screeching Weasel, Teenager Idols, and Moral Crux), released in early January 1999 on Weasel’s fledgling Lookout imprint Stress Button before adding the monitor “Bedroom Home windows” towards the compilation Brief Music for Brief People released that June. The Lookout label released the band’s Compact disc Where NO-ONE Understands My Name in November 1999. The record mixed hardcore and pop with the brand new punk design of beauty and truth. Just some arbitrary compilation appearances along with a few 7″s appeared on the next couple of years; Ken and Poultry spent time launching music with Traditional western Addiction. The people finally resurfaced in 2004 with a fresh full-length, Stories Hardly ever Informed, released through regional indie Crimson Scare. Right now, Poultry was playing in Deceased if you ask me, and Foe You comprised Jones, the Yamazakis, and bassist Chris Matulich. Tour schedules with bands just like the Lawrence Hands along with a Wilhelm Scream implemented; Enemy You agreed upon to Nitro Information in middle-2005, around once that their 1999 record was reissued by Crimson Scare.
